No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Bonzo Dog Band.

No one could be more surprised at having made it to 2020 that the co-hosts of No Condition Is Permanent, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy. The new year arrived at the Purple Bat Lounge accompanied by three dozen tunes, any one among them capable of lifting the paint from old car fenders. Of course Uncle Morty stopped by, goods in hand. (What? You thought he wouldn’t?) And the programmers at The Madison stepped up to the plate as well, screening a seasonal-yet-creepy double feature. One couldn’t imagine a better soundtrack for tearing the old calendar off the wall…and now one doesn’t have to, as last Saturday’s experience can be shared by those at home, simply by clicking immediately below…

“Eddie Romero made a series of awful ‘Blood Island’ films in the Philippines. The producers decided those weren’t bad enough, so they hired Al Adamson to direct a similar mad scientist film. Sure enough, it’s worse than the others. Al manages to do everything wrong again. Kent Taylor stars as the nut whose brain transplant experiments produce Gor (John Bloom), a big ugly monster who gets to carry Regina Carrol around. Dwarf assistant Angelo Rossitto laughs a lot and pokes at chained women.”

— Michael Weldon, describing ‘Brain Of Blood’ in The Psychotronic Encyclopedia Of Film.

Well, that was anything but your normal-formal Saturday evening at the Purple Bat Lounge. DJ Lee-Roy stated his case, straight out of the gate, that he belonged to the exploited underclass and wanted his co-host (and legal guardian AND the guy who pays for whatever it is that Uncle Morty brings to the front curb every week) Reeshard to do something about it. The source of the dog’s umbrage and newly politicized outlook? Why the Little Red Book, of course. Though as the evening proceeded, the tome in question was not the red book authored by Chairman Mao. It was, instead, this one, as provided by bartender LaWanda. And it did show Lee-Roy a lot that he hadn’t been getting. All this, as more than 30 stormin’ tunes played, The Madison staged a Dolomite double feature and the most famous pit bull on Brush Street searched for a Rasta date for the movies, with questionable success. It’s a lot to take in, we’ll admit, but listening makes it go down that much more easily. So click just down there and hear for yourself…

After the last pumpkin has burnt out and begun to shrivel and liquefy; after the last costumed reveler has been apprehended; and after the last crack house set ablaze on Devil’s Night is reduced to a heap of smoking embers, something like normalcy returns to The Purple Bat Lounge. Wait! Did we say that the last blaze was extinguished? Far from it, Group! Why, one of the bar’s own DJ’s — yes, it was Lee-Roy, as though you had to ask — managed to ignite the audio mixer as last Saturday’s first set concluded. Anything after that might seem anti-climactic, but only to those unfamiliar with the innate potential within a Saturday evening on Brush Street. Blaxploitation movies playing at The Madison, a visit from Uncle Morty and the ever-escalating war of words between DJ Reeshard and his canine charge…well, it all goes toward ‘upping the FUN quotient,’ as the dog would have it. Find out how, simply by clicking on the big arrow, a few pixels south of here…

Halloween is approaching, which is not only our favorite holiday but also represents the 6th anniversary of No Condition Is Permanent taking over the weekly Saturday evening shift at Luxuria Music. In the run-up to the big day, The Madison is showing yet another sleazy-yet-spooky twin-bill. DJ Lee-Roy is also gearing up for the occasion, planning a most special costume (which may upset sensitive souls and/or residents of Georgia). He and co-host Reeshard colored the atmosphere within the Purple Bat Lounge with three dozen tracks selected for their suitability to rattle windows in the neighborhood.

As late summer doldrums disappear in the rear-view mirror, even the narcotic-positive patrons of the Purple Bat Lounge sense Father Time dropping his foot on the accelerator. Why, in the space of a single Saturday evening they witnessed: Lee-Roy diving into a new special issue of Paws’n’Gravy magazine (to the extent that he nearly forgot about the show); DJ Reeshard and the aforementioned pit bull selecting nearly three dozen tunes and playing same at lease-breaking volume; Uncle Morty turning up with a small canister whose label spelled ‘trouble’ (though using different letters to accomplish as much); and the beginning of Halloween programming at The Madison.

Pictured: Tura Satana in Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!

It is Tura’s portrait of Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! that stopped the clock forever. With her trademark Germaine Monteil eyeliner and Max Factor pancake, a Frederick’s of Hollywood bra with specially made cups that ensured even cleavage with no unexpected pop-outs, and leather gloves—one of which inevitably holds a slim Nat Sherman cigarette—Varla’s a gender-bending femme fatale who still packs a wallop nearly forty years later. Tura didn’t have to do any research for the part. The tragic events of her childhood gave her a grim insight into the role that couldn’t be begged, borrowed, or stolen. “Varla is the most honest, maybe the one honest portrayal in the Meyer canon,” writes critic Richard Corliss. “Certainly the scariest.”
